undropDatabase

Last updated: January 27, 2026

Restores a dropped database using Snowflake Time Travel. The database must have been dropped within the data retention period and no database with the same name can currently exist.

Note: Automatic rollback drops the database.

Known limitation: This change type does not support database inspection features (snapshot, diff, diff-changelog, and generate-changelog commands).
